Forcing D&D to stick around for seasons 7 and 8 in retrospect was a bad idea, akin to forcing a resentful employee to serve out their 30 days notice Any writer(s) with half a brain could have done a better job

HBO should have recruited the guy from Alt Shift X and Preston Jacobs for insight.

Many people don't like Jacobs, but he has been really spot on with his analysis of the past, present and future. Alt Shift X on the the other hand grasps the lore better than most, but apparently he has a lot of contributors assisting him out.

This video from Alt Shift X, the Targaryen Conquest put a lot into perspective,

and Daenerys's conquest hasn't been far off from Aegon's other than the very end where she flipped mad.

I think the issue is that they compressed the episodes. The frustration and insecurity was there they needed to show it. Perhaps a few more scenes of her making bad decisions and throwing toys. More interactions with Varies showing justification for his actions... none of these would have done anything to the CGI budget.

Dany is warging into Drogon and she understands what the scorpions are, she understands the arrows and she understand trajectories. Drogon is not being ridden he and Dany are one she is controlling him, he is giving feedback to her....

Rhaegal is just following them, he doesn't understand any of these things he is just chilling in the sky and some sharp pointy things hit him.

The scorpoins had the element of surprise with the first attack as well. Its a stretch but I do think to be realistic some arrows should have hit Drogon at some point.

Because they had time to line up their shots on the dragons that were oblivious at the time. They weren't able to hit Drogon when he was swooping down on the ships after Rhaegal went down, either. I guess when that happened, Dany identified their weakness: close proximity. And she exploited that in the past episode.
